Edinburgh has been the Scottish capital
since the 15th century and is now a world
heritage site. It has two distinct areas:
the Old Town, dominated by a medieval
fortress; and the neoclassical New Town,
whose development from the 18th
century onwards had a far-reaching influence
on European urban planning. The harmonious
juxtaposition of these two contrasting
historic areas, each with many important
buildings, is what gives the city its unique
character and beautiful setting.
In summer, enjoy Edinburgh’s world-famous
Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Edinburgh Fringe
and Edinburgh International Festival.
There are plenty of quality hotels and bed
and breakfast guest houses (B&B) with plenty
to do and see. For more information please
